The Spa at the Out NYC (CLOSED)

Located on the second floor of gay-friendly hotel the Out NYC, this chic spa caters primarily to guys—but that shouldn’t keep ladies from booking an appointment. You could spend the whole day inside the 5,000-square-foot space, which has two hot tubs, a steam room, a sauna, an outdoor deck and a gym (purchase a $50 day pass or gain complimentary access to all of the facilities when you book any service). Beauty guru Christopher Drummond (christopherdrummond.com) is the brains behind the oasis, expanding on the offerings previously available only to hotel guests, such as massages (60mins $150, 90mins $195), facials (60mins $140, 90mins $185), manicures ($35) and pedicures ($55). Body treatments (65mins $175) include detoxifying massages, scrubs and Turkish hammam services. You can even nab a haircut ($50) and beard trim ($25), as well as sugaring hair removal on brows, ears and nose ($15 each), or a full Brazilian bikini ($50–$65).
